Long story short. I was asked a couple months ago if I wanted to buy this ramp. I said "No, but when you cant sell it call me and I will take it" Really didn't think much of it until Friday when I was told "the ramp never sold we are going to burn it if you don't take it"
So Saturday I took it. Nothing fancy 8' wide by 3'8" or so tall looks like 7.5' transitions. I have plans on doubling it up and putting it in the woods but I need to move a lot of ground for that so now it will stay put. The coping sucks balls its just chain link fence pipe, but that is an ez fix. My son is digging it. Its a little too skinny to really get into but I can fool around with it for now.

Thanks man I'm pretty fortunate and try to not forget. She def was giving us a hard time Sunday morning. I got it home with just one other guy. Each quarter weighs 500-600lbs so it wasn't Ez. I told her we will need some help moving everything in place. I asked for help on Facebook and gave my address out. Well.... Sunday morning at 10 the doorbell started ringing haha. She was still in her pajamas and all these old schoolers were showing up. She came out and started causing shit (it was 60% humer, 40% pissed off that I had strangers showing up) but then she says "it's going to need to be at least 4' wider" she is rad no doubt.

Every single one of my friends are the same friends I grew up with. So they all still skate or skate in their mind. And most of them had kids the same time we did. Most of them have moved but we get together a lot. My house is a constant meeting spot for everyone and their kids so this is the perfect place for a ramp.

I'd like to go twice as wide and put it in the woods so we can all hang together instead of all the dads going to the park and the moms and kids going somewhere else.

I just wish I was 10 years younger. I feel like I'm still in my 20's but sooner or later our bodies are going to break down.

So dope!!! Was always one of my dreams to have a backyard with a mini.
Looks like a pretty solid build as well (apart from the fence post coping).
Keep on riding & having fun as long as your body allows.
Rad that you get to enjoy that experience with your lil guy & pass on the passion!!
